Carl Nielsen International Competitions

Carl Nielsen International Competitions connects small town Odense with the rest of the world. For decades the competitions have delivered star musicians, among others Denmark’s own violinist Nikolaj Znaider. Since 2014, Nordic Artists Management has been involved in planning the competitions including redesigning the application process, inviting a strong jury, live streaming from the competition rounds, and creating career push opportunities for the prize winner. We continue to strive to find the best international artists when the 11th Carl Nielsen International Violin Competition takes place in 2016 and the combined Carl Nielsen International Flute and Clarinet Competitions take place in 2018.
